"A 2017 study from Kyoto University had a similar approach and findings to the puppet study, seemingly confirming these results. Children as young as six months were shown videos featuring three Pacman-like characters, called ‘agents’: a ‘victim’, a ‘bully’ bumping aggressively against the victim and squashing it into a wall, and a ‘third party’ agent. The third-party agent would sometimes intervene to help the victim by putting itself between the victim and the bully, and would sometimes flee instead. After watching the video, children had to choose their preferred character and most chose the intervening third-party agent who had tried to help the victim."

Anyone who's been around children notices they don't notice skin color, or even disabilities. If they see someone who needs help, they help them.

Then, some of them turn on fox news or listen to talk radio and their brains are sucked out and replaced with a world of mindless repetition, saying words like "libard, snowflake, and nothing burger." Parroting what they're told becomes their new reality.

Even when facts prove a lie (tax cuts don't give us balanced budgets) they can't learn from their mistakes. Instead, the mindless gel between their ears is told what to say and think.
